In the conversation for Sunday, April 22, 2018, Pastor Stuart Nice shares with us the principles of personal power, which can apply spiritually, emotionally, and physically. He encourages us to examine our lives to see where we are lacking power, identify the things that challenge our power, and strategies to tap back into our source of power.

Sacred Reading

A note about the recording of the Sacred Reading:The reader will pause between each of the four readings. The pauses have been left in the recording so that the listener can experience the rhythm of the gathering and even participate in the reading. Below are the guidelines for each of the four readings of the practice.

Read: Read the passage and receive it as God’s message to you.

Reflect: Read the passage again and look for the word or phrase that the Holy Spirit highlights to your heart.

Respond: Take the highlighted words and make them a prayer.

Rest: Rest your heart on God’s promises.

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.Colossians 3:1-4 (NIV)
